Jason Kottke and his 68 cents –

Meg shrugs and says, “you should post that to your blog.”

I get that comment all the time from friends, family, and sometimes even people I don’t know.

For some reason it bugs me just a little bit. Are they suggesting that I blog something because they want to read about it later, because they think it would be interesting to the general public, or because they wish they had their own blog, but they don’t and so they are trying to live through mine?

Also, have you ever noticed that it’s a little awkward when that comment is made in the presence of folks that don’t know about your blog? “Oh, you have a blog? That’s cool. What is it?”
